Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

Joyce and Tim started piano lessons at the same time. They both practice about 30 minutes a day and enjoy playing the piano. Despite these similarities, Joyce has mastered many more piano skills than Tim has. Which argument is best supported by these observations?

Answer
A
The amount an individual practices each day entirely determines how well they play piano.
B
The ability to play the piano is influenced by genetics as well as the environment.
C
All individuals inherit the same potential to play the piano.
D
Most people only need 30 minutes of piano practice each day to master skills.

Explanation

Joyce and Tim have similar practice routines and both enjoy piano, yet they have made different levels of progress. This suggests that practice and other environmental factors may not explain all differences in piano skill; individual factors, including genetics, may also contribute. The observation does not prove genetics is the cause, but choice A is best supported.
